Weekly Poem: "Bad Call"

I'm going to post my Weekly Poem as a blog post, as it doesn't work the other way (hard to edit, had to remove page element).  So if you don't see the Weekly Poem just scroll down.  It will be here somewhere!
I get my prompts from the Poetic Asides blog:  http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/poetic-asides

Bad Call

You wouldn’t call it work

but I do.

Referee for two people

brought together by biology

and fate.

They both speak English,

there the similarities end.

Contrary,

arguing at the drop of a dishtowel

Me in my stripes,

Is this a prison or a football field?

No one can agree

on the proper reaction

to spy cameras in the hotel bathrooms

at Sochi.

Will there be a winner

in this Olympian contest?

Not likely.

I blow my whistle

until red in the face.

Flag on the play.

Unnecessary roughness.
